Community Reviews
Best personal care living within a 25-mile radius of my home.
reviewed on: 03/08/2014 by AnonymousA little expensive but they don't nickel and dime for things that other places charge for like transportation, cable TV and phone. Other places looked more institutional. I liken this place to a cruise ship that never docks at a port. Your senior loved ones can enjoy a lovely lifestyle here.

reviewed on: 12/25/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerLiked all of the common areas, seemed very clean. Assisted living apts. seem small but nice. Did not like that they don't have Wifi b/c my mom loves her computer. Not so big on assigned seating all of the time; food was average but service seemed good. I worry that some of the staff are not even LPNs; many are CPAs or only go through Brandywine's training. Liked that they have 24/7 nurse on-site and can do sliding scale insulin. would prefer a place that has skilled nursing on-site. Liked the 92 degree salt water pool (but a little small) and all of the activities; liked the Memory care area and courtyard. About 22 residents in memory care; all beds full. I think 40-some in Assisted Living. About 5-6 couples. Did have a small fitness center that he could use, but I think w/ supervision. LOVED that all residents are Longwood Gardens members, and they have transportation there 3X/week. Loved the front family room and porch area; loved the colorful aquarium. Liked the country kitchen area w/ access to snacks.
My mother's extended family...Brandywine!
reviewed on: 01/24/2018 by DominicMy mother went to Brandywine at Longwood 3 years ago and we didn't think she would be with us beyond 3 months because her health was so fragile. The staff is excellent and so attentive to the residents. My mother loves her caregivers and has a smile on her face every time we visit. The community is beautiful and very clean. My mother is in the secured memory care unit which is like another family for her. They all eat together and participate in activities together. The Reflections nurse is so caring and accessible. She communicates with my siblings and I promptly whenever we reach out to her. We know my mother is in excellent hands! I would highly recommend Brandywine for their Assisted Living and their Memory Care.
A Special Place at a Special Time of Life
reviewed on: 11/24/2014 by KateBrandywine Senior Living Longwood welcomed my mother two years ago and has provided consistent compassionate support at this special time of her life. No one wants to be in this chapter of their life, and no one would write this as a storybook ending for a loved one, yet the reality is our parents will age, and not all can live independently until the last day. My mother was frightened, confused, lonely and unhappy living in her home far away. The family made the hard choice to find a new care plan to not only bring mom the supports she needed, but also to ease our daily worries about her well being. The Brandywine staff took time to explain all aspects of the transition process and they have remained attentive to my family. My mother is respected here, as is each Resident. My mother attends amazing activities, enjoys interesting field trips, looks forward to festive holiday parties, and has made many new friends. Her quality of life has improved significantly, despite her declining capacities associated with dementia. No other facility offered such special care. Brandywine Senior Living Longwood delivers excellence each day to every resident. My mother is thriving and she is safe. I feel grateful for their outstanding services.
Good location.
